This week...
- The new staircase (a temporary version...but in the right location) was built.
- The roof was torn off. How wild it was to see our house that way!
- The 2nd floor subfloor was put in.
- The framing for the upstairs began.
Our house has finally taken its new shape and we love it! It's only been two weeks of construction and so much has happened. And I'm thankful there have been very few surprises as the demolition and framing has begun. The only real disappointment for us thus far has been the fireplaces and chimney being unusable and will be very costly to get them in a working condition. For now we won't have working fireplaces but haven't given up hope that we'll eventually rebuild the chimney and get them in working condition.
So I leave you with pictures from this week:

Woah, you guys are doing a great job documenting this process! How exciting. Have you found a source for your reclaimed lumber/ flooring yet? I have a friend in WV who tears down turn of the century homes and salvages the wood. Let me know if you want his contact info.
Wow, how fun! It looks great. I can't wait to see the continued progress!
